Large Truck Burns at Dale City Exit

DALE CITY, Va. — A large truck caught fire tonight on Interstate 95 in Dale City.

The fire was reported to be near the car rest area at mile post 156 near the exit for Dale Boulevard at Potomac Town Center at Stonebridge.

Fire crews responded to the scene, charged their lines, and doused the blaze.

No one was injured in the blaze, and the call about the fire came into 911 at 10:43 p.m., said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

The truck stopped at the 156 mile post in the northbound shoulder I-95 where the fire rapid spread to another vehicle and quickly engulfed the trailer.

Two northbound lanes were closed following the fire and were expected to be reopened by midnight, said Geller.
